These 10 FREE Summer Activities for Kids take me back to my childhood! You don’t need to go on a vacation to have a memorable summer. These fun things to do during the summer will help save you trips to the store. Yay!

Summer mornings are weird. Sometimes frustrating!

The routine goes out the window. Late nights call for late mornings. Heck! The kids still wake up at the same time no matter what time they went to bed. Lord help us all!

So, what do you do with the kids? They aren’t going to school for 3 months! Aaaaaaaaaggggghhhhh!

I did do a post of 25 Awesome Summer Activities you can pull from. But, what if you forget to plan for those for the week (you forget to draw the summer bucket list cards and go shopping for any supplies you don’t have laying around the house)?

Stuff happens. Life happens. Mom brain happens.

Don’t stress, Mama.

I have made another awesome summer activities list that doesn’t cost anything and doesn’t require a trip to the store. It simply uses what you have already.

Whoo hoo!Am I right?!

Free and simple are the best.

As a kid, we didn’t have much. So, my brother and I had to get creative alot. Especially during the summer time when we were bored out of our heads. But, those games and activities we made up are some of the best memories I have.

So, don’t go thinking, that even though you don’t go on some fancy vacation, your kids are missing out on a fun summer.

No way!

Sure vacations are nice. But, you can make the most memorable summer for your kids with simple things. Just be totally 100% present; and, they will love it!

I need all the summer activities for kids ideas I can get! So, using this list will help us get through summer with less chaos. There are printables, backyard activities, crafts, watermelon and slime ideas! Fun, fun!

The last school bell has rang for most families. The kids are so excited! It means it’s Saturday everyday for them! Whoo Hoo!

But, are you screaming Whoo Hoo, Mom and Dad?

Maybe.

Maybe not so much. What the heck do you do with your kiddos so they don’t turn into those creatures from Where the Wild Things Are?

I mean, when my kids are cooped up in the house all day, a wild ruckus does begin. Fights happen. I hear, “Mom, brother poked my eye with Captain America!” or “Mom, sister is pinching me!”

I was sort of jokingly saying to my husband yesterday, that there should be a place where parents can go to drop off their kids in a sound proof room (with babysitters of course) and right next to that room is a pillow room. A pillow room that parents can take a lovely nap in complete silence.

Doesn’t that sound ah-mazing?! A mama can dream.

But, I digress…

Now, what to do with those kiddos before they turn into little tornadoes, destroy the house and drive everyone bananas {insert thinking emoji}.

I got your back, Mom and Dad! I compiled a list for you to draw from. Now are you screaming Whoo Hoo?
